Micro Four Thirds uses the full image frame. This oddity among crop sensor interchangeable lens cameras does peoples heads in in equivalency debates but Micro Four Thirds is full frame. What you get is edge to edge 100% of the lens. As such Micro Four Thirds sensors have to be made to a greater degree of tolerance unlike APS-C cameras such as the Nikon/Canon/Pentax APS-C camera that use a full sized lens where edge sharpness might be worse, but it doesn't matter because you don't see the edges.
